Dustin: Thanks For Being Civil, HBO

Dustin Hurst: Dear HBO Nation, As the election winds down and rhetoric continues to heat up, I just wanted to write a little note of thanks. Thank you, HBO Nation, for keeping commentary civil and respectful and above stupid bickering that gets us nowhere. I am so tired of the fringes of the right (Savage and Levin) and left (Alan Grayson) yelling at each other, getting us nowhere. Though I disagree with many of you (Phaed, Sis, Fort, I'm looking you way), I respect they way you each bring your facts and rational discussion into the HBO world. Enjoy your Election Day!

Question: Do you think we've finally struck the balance between civility and irreverence here?
